Month number eight of adventuring with this guy. Honestly, it feels like he very quickly leveled up from the small baby stage of always dozing off in my arms to the big baby stage of turbo crawling everywhere.

On a way different note and tone... my kid is jacked. Like, I’m kinda jelly of those biceps. I guess that’s what happens when you spend all your waking time using your arms to pull yourself up on furniture. Anybody else wind up with an oddly buff baby at this age??
